"GRAND" Weekend

Weigh In: No clue.

I'm writing this blog on my laptop while sitting in bed in our hotel room at the Grand Traverse Resort. For our anniversary, I've taken Erin to this Spa/Resort, with a Wine Trail - where you go to different wineries and try the different wines. I'm not much of a wine guy, but it's growing on me.

So, today I didn't work out, but I found out that there's a gym here, so you can count on me being there tomorrow. I ate "ok", about 2800 calories today. Not great, but definitely not as bad as I could have been when there was free cheeses, unlimited wine and chocolate truffles, breads, chocolate covered strawberries - you name it. This chef had a HUGE spread, and I was reasonable about it. So, 2800 could have quite easily have been 4800 if I hadn't have made the right decisions. So, a victory. Small one, but I'll take it.

Tomorrow we're going on the Wine Trail, where we're taking a tour of 6 wineries in the area, where they drive us around and we get the whole tour and everything. It'll be fun, and then there's a full blown dinner party tomorrow night, so I'll have to be conscious of what I eat.

Also, on Sunday morning before we leave for home, we're getting a "Couple Massage", which is just basically us both being in the same room for 50 minutes getting this kick ass rubdown, so it's something that I need. A lot of it is the 'want', but the 'need' comes in when it comes to the stress I've been feeling. It's been out of hand, but now that my tough final is over (one more Monday), and I've got a weekend to just enjoy, I'm taking my best opportunity to recharge, and get ready for a big May.

So what's this mean?

It means that my batteries are recharging right now. Gary comes home from vacation this weekend too, so we're getting back into the workout routine Monday. I feel like, when this weekend is over, I'm starting over with a clean slate, and I will have the energy to make yet another huge push. This time, it's not about 300. It's about 250.

So, go enjoy your weekend. You know I'm going to ;)
